Constitutional Code
In the United States, no for wounds received
compensation is given: for military service, half-pay
none. The reason is Of this distinction sufficiently
manifest enough in the justification cause. Not for sympathy
is given not in the way of tolerably as towards the individual not for exercise of
the depredation under the name of liberality is the money
given to either case: in the case of wounds it is given
because the necessary need has place: in the case of the half
pay it is withholden because the need has not place, in
the case of wounds the need of the money has place, because
without it fear might had some to struck from danger, while
with it, hope invites all to offer themselves to the danger.
For incapacity through infirmity, under the
Proposed Constitution a provision has place may be seen while which
the present practice of the United States does not afford. The self
suppletive function, the exercise of which is imposed on all
offices which the directive function is attached is the instrument
by which this the use of which this requisite is accompliced: when the aptitude of the principal declines, the
depute or if there are deputes more than one, the one most
in estimation, taken in hand more as it were universally
into the performance of the business the part taken in the business
by the depute receives insensibly an encrease as infirmity
on the part of the principal advances: the deputy all the while
unpaid in money, hopes of succession to the situation of principal
being with the attached emolument being the case in which
in his case, service is paid for in his case.
